FANS joked that a League of Ireland mascot “should be booked for diving” after a hilarious fall at a charity race in Naas.
The LOI Mascot Race, sponsored by PFA Ireland, took place at the Kildare racecourse on Saturday.
It was run in aid of Waterford Marine Search and Rescue and the RNLI Kildare, and pitted several LOI clubs’ mascots against one another in a 200 yard dash.
Right from the start, Finn Harps mascot Harper was neck-and-neck with Benny The Bull representing Sligo Rovers.
In a momentous twist, Benny lost his footing and fell to the floor, allowing Harper to pull away and win the race for the second time after also winning it in 2019.
Fans reacted to the race by poking fun at poor Benny for the tumble.
RacingTV joked: “The Devon Loch of the mascot scene…” in reference to the horse which fell on the final straight while leading the 1956 Grand National.
A second viewer said: “Ah jaysus benny” while a third said: “Should be booked for diving”
A fourth commented: “Terrible beat for Benny The Bull backers”
Between The Stipes tweeted: “Finn Harps greatest moment since the FAI Cup win of 1974.
“Sligo Rovers fans will be hoping that wasn’t a metaphor for their season as Benny the Bull falls at the last.
“Credit to all involved, all for a worthy cause”
Benny’s unfortunate fall was one of two blows suffered by Sligo Rovers on Saturday.
John Russell’s men were made to settle for a draw with Shamrock Rovers in their Premier Division clash.
That was despite the Bit O’Red taking a 2-0 lead and having a chance to win the game right at the end.
The point leaves Sligo in the relegation play-off spot, five points ahead of bottom side Cork City.
Shamrock Rovers, meanwhile, saw their lead at the top of the league reduced to nine points.
Derry City closed the deficit with a 7-2 drubbing of Waterford at the Brandywell.
The Candystripes are in second place having played two games fewer than Stephen Bradley‘s men.
They face the Hoops two times before the end of the season.
JIMMY Carr allegedly called his father amid their longstanding feud to ask for a “favour” – before snubbing his old man when it was granted, it has been claimed.
The comedian’s bad blood with Jim Carr Snr, 80, has been widely reported, with Jimmy, 52, previously suggesting his dad was “dead to me” after their lengthy spat reached its peak.
In 2022, we also reported how Jimmy was being sued by his father for defamation.
At the time, it was claimed Jim Carr Snr was “sick and tired” of the “false characterisation” the 8 Out Of 10 Cats host presents of his dad.
Now a pal of Jimmy’s parent has claimed has claimed Jim Carr Snr was left “confused and distraught” after Jimmy allegedly reached out for help – then cut contact again.
A source told MailOnline how Jimmy is said to have asked his dad to “take on a burden.”
The source said: “It was just before Christmas in 2017 and Jimmy rang his dad to ask him for some help with a problem he had.
“He had been supporting someone close to him but just couldn’t continue doing so.
“Jim has never told me the full details preferring to keep it private but it was a big favour to ask and obviously Jimmy felt he had nowhere else to turn, given that he hadn’t spoken to his dad for that last 15 or 16-years prior to that phone call.
“He wanted Jim to take on the burden – which he duly did.
“But while Jim hoped this good deed could rekindle their relationship, Jimmy seemed to cut him off again.
“He didn’t call to thank him or anything, it was radio silence… which continues to this day.”
The Sun has gone to Jimmy’s rep for comment.
In one of the most bitter celebrity bust-ups, tensions are said to have escalated between Jimmy and Jim after the publication of the funnyman’s memoir, Before and Laughter.
Jim was said to be “sick and tired” of “false characterisation” by the 8 Out Of 10 Cats host.
At the time source told MirrorOnline Jim had taken legal action and said: “The last thing Jim wanted to do was take his own son to court, but enough is enough.
“He’s sick and tired of this false characterisation of himself that is being presented.
“Jimmy’s snide comments about his dad have been going on for years.
“The straw that broke the camel’s back was this new book and some of the things he has been saying on podcasts.”
Jimmy previously told how he cut contact with his dad following the death of his mother Nora in 2001.
He told a podcast: “I haven’t seen my dad in 21 years and you know the line, ‘My mother’s dead and my father’s dead to me’ – which sounds very cold, until you meet the guy.”

THIS is the shocking moment a three-car pile-up caused a burning SUV to smash into a Domino’s pizza store causing a devastating explosion.
Three people were injured and evacuation orders were issued after the terrifying incident in Herriman, Utah, on Saturday night.
The explosion tore through the building surrounded by other businesses after the vehicle hit a gas line, a Unified Fire Authority spokesperson said.
Those who were injured in the incident were taken to nearby hospitals with their conditions currently unknown.
The spokesperson noted on X that they are not fire or law enforcement officials.
“Two courageous bystanders risked their lives to rescue the driver and passenger from the burning vehicle just moments before it was engulfed in flames,” the spokesperson wrote.
Residents living on Terra Cruz Lane and Parasol Lane were evacuated after the incident sparked a gas leak which has now been contained.

THE family of a young boy who was found dead on railway tracks have released a touching tribute to their son.
The youth, Joshua Myers, 16, tragically passed away on Thursday, July 3.
Police were called to reports of a casualty on the tracks near Poynton station, Greater Manchester.
Paramedics raced to assist but Joshua was sadly pronounced dead at the scene.
Another 16-year-old was also tragically pronounced dead at the scene.
The British Transport Police are not treating the deaths as suspicious.
In a heartbroken statement, Joshua’s parents said: “Our son, Josh is incredibly precious to us and we are so proud to be his Mum and Dad.
“He had no idea how loved he was. Our hearts have been broken, and the world seems incomplete without him. He will stay in our hearts forever.
“He was the best big brother ever, who loved his big family. He was also very thoughtful, kind, bright and intelligent.
“His warm sense of humour always shone through all of his activities.
“He really enjoyed playing computer games, running, including park runs, and playing badminton.
“Many of his favourite days were when he was relaxing and playing whilst on holiday with his family – bodyboarding, swimming and looking after his younger siblings.
“Josh’s close friends also meant a lot to him and he really enjoyed spending time with them.
“Our family would like to thank everyone for all of the wonderfully kind thoughts and messages which we have received.
“Thank you to everyone, too, for respecting our privacy at this very sad time.”
ICONIC music star Pete Doherty swapped the stage for the pitch as he took part in a non-league football match.
The Libertines frontman, 46, walked out and took the kick off for Isthmian League South East Division side Margate.
Wearing his iconic hat – and the captain’s armband – Doherty led Margate out on the pitch for their pre-season clash with Tonbridge Angels on Saturday.
Margate had announced earlier in the week that they had “signed” Doherty and that the star would be making his debut against Tonbridge.
A statement read: “We are delighted to announce that we have signed Pete Doherty to make his Margate debut tomorrow against Tonbridge Angels.
“See you there, 2:45pm kick-off”.
However, those hoping to see the indie guitarist play the full 90 minutes were let down after he took the kickoff and was substituted just a few moments later.
Perhaps Margate could have done with Doherty up top for longer after they ultimately fell to a 3-2 defeat on the day.
Nonetheless, fans loved seeing Doherty make a brief cameo.
On social media, one wrote: “The living legend Mr Pete Doherty wearing number 10”.

While another added: “Pete Doherty playing for Margate FC… never thought he’d be ‘The Man Who Would Be Wing’.” – a play on The Libertines’ tune The Man Who Would Be King
And a third posted: “Jacob Adams has shared a pitch with Pete Doherty, what a world we live in”.
The Libertines have sponsored Margate’s kits since 2018/19 season and continue to adorn the front of their shirts for the upcoming campaign.
After the game came to a close Doherty was straight back to his usual job, headlining a homecoming gig down the road at Margate venue Dreamland amusement park.
